Literally means “handshake building”, a kind of building complex often seen in slums in Asia. They are ubiquitous in lower income urban areas in southeastern China.
A more extreme version is the 亲嘴楼 (kiss building), which are built so close that you can kiss your neighbor through the window.
The most notorious example is probably the Kowloon Walled City.
